What is an air fryer?
Introduced by Phillips Electronics Company in 2010, the air fryer is a small appliance that uses hot air to cook food in a way that mimics the effects of a deep fryer — minus all the excess oil. As hot air circulates around the food, you end up with fried-like food that is delicious and healthier than fried counterparts.
The details
Although the Cosori air fryer has 11 one-touch preset options, you can customize the temperature and time settings to your liking. You can use it to cook a variety of dishes including chicken, fries, vegetables, frozen food, deserts and bread quickly, easily, and without the use of oil.
This easy-to-clean item also includes a book with 100 recipes to inspire you in the kitchen, or for those times when you just can't think of what to make for dinner.
First impressions
When the company said XL size, they really meant it. This air fryer is big enough to cook a whole chicken with fries all at once. The size was perfect for my family and I, and I didn't have to cook multiple batches.
To put the machine to the test, I decided to try something easy like french fries. I loved how simple it was to use, since the 11 cooking options are preset so all you have to do is click the correct button and press start.
The fries turned out delicious — crisp and crunchy, and exactly like how they would if you were to fry them.

It's worth nothing that you do have to preheat the air fryer before actually cooking anything. Although it's only five minutes, when you're short on time, every minute is valuable. There is a beeping sound to notify you after the preheat, when it's time to shake, and when the timer is done which is a little loud, but still a good warning in case you've stepped away.
I did find some of the preset times to be too long for the amount of time needed to cook. For example, cooking french fries for 28 minutes as the preset recommended didn't seem right, as they were done in about 15 minutes. But, this could be based on the amount of fries I cooked differing from the recipe book too.
What shoppers are saying
With a 4.7-star rating out of almost 11,000 customer reviews, it's clear that Amazon shoppers are loving this Cosori Air Fryer.
One shopper shared that this is "an incredible purchase" and "the best appliance" they own. They have been using it "every day" and raved about how "easy it is to use and clean."
Another shopper wrote that there is a "learning curve" with the cooking times and methods, but the "convenience is worth it."

Customers also loved the "shake" feature that reminds you to shake the basket for an even cook.
One shopper said this is the "best little investment" for their kitchen. They added they "never enjoyed cooking" until using this air fryer because of how tasty the food turns out in very little time.
However, some reviewers noted that the touch screen on this air fryer is "not responsive," though others reported that after getting in touch with Cosori customer service, they were able to resolve the issue.
